Yep, it would be a blast to do it on a bike at that speed.
I think I'd like to practise it a bit slower, being on the wrong side of the road. :eek

More cost effective to rent one when you get there.

Nah, I might ride overland on the ST like the bloke in Biggles story. Would have to take my favourite girl, or maybe rent one????? Might be a good road but too far away, and we have some great roads here that I have yet to ride!

Post by: STeveo on December 20, 2012, 05:47:29 PM: Wouldn't cost as much and there would be no one to nag me (you don't have to talk to them). Be less stuff to carry too.
